This is my 3rd year as part of the George Kao community and I'm so grateful for all that I continue to learn about authentic marketing.
I am a Kinesiologist, yoga teacher trainer and mom.
I run a community for busy nurturers of people and projects who want expert-taught yoga in their living room.
I also train teachers to teach yoga, with online trainings including Mayurveda Self-Care, Daily Rhythm & Food-as-Medicine, Yoga Therapeutics and Prenatal.
If you ever have any aches and pains, I'd love to help.
Email for a free 10-minute customized therapeutic yoga practice, and I'll give you the Zoom link so you can drop in to my Alignment Therapy sessions on Saturday mornings. It helps me get those videos made for my trainees. 😊 You'll also get the video after so you can stay on your healing path...
Please reach out if you'd like some support or to connect for any reason! jessica@mayoga.org,
@mayoga on insta, and @ma-yoga on youtube.

How many low-view videos before you say "I gotta change something..."?
Question: What’s the threshold # of videos before we say “we gotta change what we’re doing, something’s not working?” Answer: I would want to talk with someone after they've done 50 videos to help them assess the direction they should go in, based on the data of those videos. The first videos you upload (maybe 20 or so) are just practicing getting into the groove, e.g. getting the audio and lighting right, looking into the camera lens, getting less anxious talking to the camera, etc... while also trying to say something interesting... Then maybe videos # 21-50 are higher quality than the first batch, and you promoted it outside of Youtube. We can look at those analytics -- it'll signal what the audience seems to be suggesting in terms of their desired direction for your videos. So, come to my Q&A calls and let's look at your videos and stats together. If no comments below and no ability to comment, first log into this course.

Audio is surprisingly important for Video, especially for talking-head videos...
Think of it this way -- you're essentially recording a podcast, except including your video as well. Become really aware of reverb/echoey sound in your audio, and adjust for it. Ideas to try: Bring your mic as close to your mouth as possible (well, not so close as to distort the sound.) Fewer hard surfaces around you where sound can bounce around -- cover it with soft material like clothing or blankets. Or sound tiles. Which can be pieces of art! Get a better mic :) my favorite are Earpods (the wired type) purchased direct from Apple (don't get the knockoffs from Amazon and many retailers) Comment below with mics that have great sound for you!

if anyone has good bluetooth options please let me know!

Welcome to the YouTube course! + Our Community Values
A warm welcome here! I see this course as a community... but it’s not just random comments from random people, but rather, focused and kind comments, from your fellow authentic YouTube creators, for the purpose of encouragement and learning. The most important part of a community is its culture. I consider each of us to be culture-setters. We influence the culture with every interaction we have here. A few values I recommend that we keep in mind... Comment once, reply twice. For each comment that you make, look for 2 other people's comments (especially ones with few comments) and add a reply – with your encouragement and suggestions (if appropriate). This helps to balance the comment/reply ratio, and gives you practice in seeking and giving support in this community. Start with appreciation. Begin your comment about another person's video with your appreciation. Each person's energy signature is unique. It can be difficult to notice one's own, and easier to notice others'. Try to name something, however small, that you appreciate about their video. We all have a fear of being fully seen. Let’s help each other feel accepted and received. Offer suggestions with kindness. It can be hard to receive feedback, especially when someone is new to making video. We do like offering each other suggestions here -- it helps us improve -- however, be gentle/considerate in how you offer your suggestions to one another. Be generous with sharing tips. We are all learning about YouTube together, myself included! If you discover something that works, or hear about a great tip, please do share it with us. Go to lessons learned and choose the appropriate segment to comment on. Sharing will make this course better for all of us. Let me know below if these values are helpful, and if you have any suggestions. The values we embody together here is what makes this course experience amazing for each other 😊 (This is a preview segment. If you don't see any comments below, you might not be logged into the course, or perhaps not enrolled. If you haven't enrolled, you can do so here.)
Hi George. I am making my way through the videos and learning a great deal from the onboarding steps and basic setup videos. Now I get into the meat of the course.
I really appreciate this welcome video where you note the community values. I don't see this often in program communities and whenever I do, my emotional response is one of connectedness. I will keep this in mind moving forward in my own business.
They reminded me of the "Full Value Contract, we created at the YMCA camp I worked at for years. We would write "Full Value Contract" on a 2' x 3' whiteboard and have the students/campers offer rules and guidelines. After everyone agreed that they could live by them we'd pass the whiteboard around and each person would sign it.
(One of the funniest sights at camp was seeing Outdoor Educators carrying their signed contracts under their arms on the way to activities. :D

Can you change your YT handle or username?
Yes, change it here. However, be sure to also update everywhere you've mentioned or linked to that YT URL. Maybe google your YT URL and see where it's been mentioned.
I thought you need to have 100 subscribers to do that?

Notice and help name each others' energy signatures...
The most valuable part of this course is the natural filtering process that gathered us here: we each resonated with the energy of this course, then cared enough about working on becoming keen observers and expressers of energy signature, to be here! Let's utilize this precious opportunity 💛 Step 1 -- Find a piece of content that you believe strongly reflects your energy signature. It could be a video, piece of writing, an image you created, a podcast episode, a webpage, or a social media post. Step 2 -- Add a comment below and give us the link to that piece of content. (First make sure it is publicly accessible, so we can see/experience it.) Don't tell us what part of your energy signature it expresses. Let us discover it for ourselves. If you don't yet have a piece to share with us, just go to Step 3 for now and reply to others' pieces. In the (near) future come back when you have a piece to share with us and take the above steps. Step 3 -- Reply to 2 other people's comments, especially if they haven't received any replies yet, to let them know: What aspect of their energy signature is very apparent for you... try to name something that other repliers haven't yet named... ...and also, what potential do you see with their energy signature that you'd love to see them strengthen? Enjoy this exercise! Besides the comments below (scroll down), also check out the live chats from zoom for this segment here.
